April Ethereal - Abbey Road Remaster

It was me, peering through the looking-glass
Beyond the embrace of Christ
Like the secret face within the tapestry
Like a bird of prey over the crest
And she was swathed in SORROW
As if born within its mask

Her candlelight snuffed, the icon smiled
Emptiness followed by her wake
I could clasp her in undying love
Within ghostlike rapture the final word was mine

She faced me in awe

'twas a token of ebony colour
Embodied in faint vapour
Wandering through April's fire
Compelled to grasp and to hold
The one that was you

I will endure, hide away
I would outrun the scythe, glaring with failure

It is a mere destiny I thought
A threshold I had crossed before

The rain was waving goodbye
And when the night came
The forest folded its branches around me
Something passed by, and I went into a dream
She, laughing and weeping at once
"Take me away"

I don't know how or why, I'll never know WHEN
